Boeing speaks at MAA conference 2017

At the MAA Conference you will find out:

  • how big aerospace companies like Airbus and Rolls-Royce are managing their growth and what this means for smaller manufacturers and the supply chain;
  • what the world's aerospace industry leaders are privately thinking and what their plans mean for your company;
  • how UK manufacturing is coping with current economic uncertainties, where aerospace fits in, and what you should do next
  • the best ways aerospace suppliers can plan for Brexit
  • how future technological change will affect today's aerospace manufacturers - what does "more-electric aircraft propulsion" mean for the gas turbine industry? - what does "additive manufacturing" mean for machinists, fabricators and special process firms?
